FAQs

Are these boots truly waterproof?

The boots are constructed with Milled Nubuck WP leather, which is treated for water resistance. They can handle light rain and damp conditions, but are not fully waterproof like rubber boots. For heavy downpours, additional waterproofing treatments are recommended.

How do I clean the Milled Nubuck WP leather?

Clean with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner. Avoid abrasive brushes or harsh chemicals.

Is the faux fur lining warm enough for snow?

The Milo faux fur lining offers significant warmth, making them suitable for cold weather. However, for deep snow or extreme sub-zero temperatures, they may be best complemented with thermal socks.

Do I need to break these boots in?

The Milled Nubuck WP leather is very soft and designed for a minimal break-in period. Most users find them comfortable from the first wear.

Can I resole these boots?

Yes, due to the Goodyear welt construction, these boots are resoleable, significantly extending their lifespan.

What is the difference between Milled Nubuck WP and regular Milled Nubuck?

Milled Nubuck WP has undergone an additional treatment to enhance its water-resistance, making it more suitable for damp conditions compared to standard Milled Nubuck.

How should I care for the yellow welt stitching?

The yellow welt stitching is a signature detail. It is durable as part of the Goodyear welt construction. Clean gently with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that could affect the thread colour.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable.

The Milled Nubuck WP leather is designed for minimal break-in. Wear them for short periods initially and allow them to adapt to your foot's shape. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Leather shows water spots or marks.

Wipe the affected area gently with a damp cloth. If marks persist, use a nubuck cleaner. Ensure the water-resistant treatment is up-to-date.

Faux fur lining is flattening.

Gently brush the faux fur with a soft brush to restore its loft. Avoid excessive moisture which can mat the fur.

Difficulty pulling boots on.

Ensure the elasticated gussets are not obstructed. Use the heel loop provided. If the fit is too tight, consider if the correct size has been selected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These boots are ready to wear right out of the box. No assembly or complex setup is required.

Compatibility: The 2976 Chelsea boot is designed for adult wear and pairs well with a wide range of casual and semi-casual outfits. Its unisex design makes it suitable for most individuals.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the leather. For more stubborn marks, a dedicated nubuck cleaner can be used cautiously.
  2. Waterproofing: Reapply a suitable water-resistant treatment periodically, especially after cleaning, to maintain the leather's protective qualities.
  3. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for nubuck or water-resistant leathers to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid heavy waxes or polishes that can alter the finish.
  4. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
